Labor cost for the pop ceiling is high.
4.5 PLYWOOD
:
Plywood ceiling are widely used for their visual appeal. These ceilings are created with strips of ply glued or nailed together. The strips are held together and strengthened with ply supports at equal distances. Ply ceiling are generally used in place with cold climates. Advantage of ply ceilings:
They are strong and look appealing.
They can be given various finishes, or painted to get the right look.
They can be treated to increase their lifespan. But ply ceiling are difficult to maintain, since these are prone to termite attacks. The room has to be thermally controlled to reduce the humidity in the air. Also, the wood is prone to warping and other physical changes, with time.
4.6 PVC FALSE CEILING:
PVC ceiling system is light in weight, moisture resistant and reduces condensation and subsequent dripping from ceiling onto work surfaces. The cleanable, non-absorbent surface is UV stable and will not discolour. PVC ceiling systems solves the problem of dirty, unhygienic ceilings that are difficult, and expensive to clean by providing a bright, durable and hygienic surface, which is easily maintained. This extremely practical ceiling system is suitable for any area requiring a fixed, non-porous, non-fibrous and non-absorbent ceiling. they are waterproof, termite proof, fire retardant, economical, maintenance free, being non-porous and non-absorbent, can incorporate flush fitting, lighting, access hatches, air vents and sprinklers easy to install & available in various colours shades & no hassles of painting & polishing.

4.7 FIBERBOARD AND FIBER/MINERAL REINFORCED TILES
: False ceiling can be made with fiber or mineral reinforced tiles and fiberboard. Fiber reinforced tiles are strengthened with wood vegetable fiber, wood waste, reed paper and agricultural wastes. Mineral tiles are ceramics reinforced with natural stone, wood, vegetable fiber, bitumen and tars. This process increases the insulation capacity of the product.
Advantages
They have high insulation against sound and fire.
The fiber increases the hardness and the toughness of the material.
The material can be decorated with paint or other finishes improving the aesthetics of the room.
Water repellents and preservatives can be added to increase the life of the product.
If fire safety is a factor, ceiling tiles made from mineral fibers, or fire-rated wood panels can be used within the construction to meet acceptable standards/ratings
4.8 FABRIC AND CLOTH:
Fabric is an inexpensive material, may be draped across
ceilings, collect dust, these are used for temporary purposes in big churches and function halls.
In some places, the light is diffused through the fabric providing a comfortable intensity This kind of false ceiling is not functional but greatly adds to the aesthetics of the place.

5.1 DISADVANTAGES OF FALSE CEILINGS:
The most worrying aspect of having a false ceiling would be pests. They can get through into the space between and can start their own breeding which might lead to a lot of trouble.
Also be careful while putting up decorations or hangings while you have a false ceiling in place. Make sure you know the strength and durability, do's and don'ts with regard to your ceiling.
Lastly, the false ceiling would reduce the height of the ceiling considerably and hence do not install false ceiling unless you have a decent ceiling height.
5.2 CONCLUSIONS / RECOMMEDATIONS
:
Exposed grid systems are a simple, quick and cost-effective way of installing a ceiling to your office, factory or shop. These systems allow easy access to the ceiling space for associated trade work such as electrical and air conditioning which will ensure you get the best price for your overall fit out. Fire safety is always a factor, ceiling tiles made from mineral fibers or fire-rated wood panels can be used within the construction to meet acceptable standards and ratings. These same tiles can provide the needed additional resistance to meet the "time rating" required for various fire code, city ordinance, commercial, or other similar building construction regulations.

Wiring and piping installed behind traditional plaster or wallboard ceilings is extremely difficult to modify once the finished ceiling is in place. Wires must either be fished through hollow spaces in the walls behind, or the ceiling must be demolished in order for wiring or piping changes to be made. In business, the suspended ceiling is often used with hollow steel studs to construct small office spaces out of a much larger space. Wiring and other services are run through the open ceiling, down through the hollow stud walls, and to outlets in the work areas. If business needs change, the office spaces are easily dismantled and the overall space is reconfigured with a different floor plan
